> We couldn’t run without AWS [...] said David Singleton, chief technology officer of Stripe

I know this is a PR piece, but shouldn't a CTO know better? What could they possible not have achieved if they weren't using AWS? Literally every feature of AWS exists somewhere else. Maybe not all of the same features in the same place, but to say they couldn't run Stripe without AWS strikes me a bit silly.

I just assumed its hyperbole. In the same way I would say "I couldn't live without Diet Coke."
